Juma-9: Mission 2 - Power Reroute

When you appear in this area, start by heading toward the right. There's a console along the far right ledge, looking out toward a gap. As you approach, you can press a button to receive instructions on hacking the console. Follow the instructions provided to shift the glowing portion of the ring so that it lines up with the adjacent ring. This will cause a bridge to appear across the gap.

You need to line up rings to hack the console.

Keep the shots coming to easily advance along the corridor.

Now that there's a bridge, unfortunately, you can also be reached by droids. A platoon of them will rush to meet you as you start across the translucent bridge. On the other side, you'll face waves of enemies. They only come a few at a time, though, so you should be able to do fairly well for yourself either by spraying them with shots, or by tossing grenades. There are a few of the mechs, but they fall to explosive blasts just as easily as the smaller units.

Once the last of these guys are gone, you can head up the raised platform along the right side of the corridor. There, you'll find another console to hack. This one has more rings to deal with, but it still shouldn't give you any trouble as long as you deal with one ring at a time. When you've successfully hacked the console, the door directly ahead will open and grant you access to the next chamber.

Here, you'll slowly progress along a narrower corridor lined by electric panels. Watch these, since electrical charges sometimes will extend across the path and inflict harm if they touch you. Your main goal should be to keep moving so that you're a difficult target for the droids to hit. You can find plenty of ammunition along the way and you can toss grenades to take out your more powerful enemies almost immediately. Since you're accompanied by several members of your squad, progress should come easily.

Climb up the low platforms and fire a blast at the rubble ahead of you.

That's another console successfully hacked!

Once you've progressed far enough along the corridor, an explosion will shake the building and rubble will fall across the area where you need to advance. Just ahead of that, there is a series of short ledges. Climb up these ledges and grab the weapon, then target the rubble with your secondary weapon and let loose a blast. It should blow away any debris, clearing the way once more for you to proceed.

Continue in this direction and you'll quickly come to another panel that must be hacked. This one is different from the previous two because there are orange segments to some of the rings. If these align, which is what will happen if you start by rotating the outer ring into place, the console will reset itself and you'll have to try again. Therefore, you should switch the order in which you rotate rings and start with the innermost one first. Rotate it two notches, then switch to the outer ring and rotate it so that the green portions are aligned. Now return to the inner ring and rotate it one more time to solve the puzzle.

Now you can advance through the newly-opened doorway to battle more droids. After gunning down these fellows, you'll be able to access another console. By now, you should have the general concept of console hacking down to a science. Just remember that you can rotate the rings both ways, something that you'll have to do in order to solve this particular puzzle. When you position things properly, shields will come down toward the right and you can advance in that direction to battle more droids.

Blast a bunch of droids in the mini-game, if you feel like it...

Grab the plainly visible artifact first, then solve the console puzzle with the rings.

As you proceed, you'll soon find another of the consoles. This one adds another new wrinkle: you need to line up both the blue and green rings. Two blue segments should be positioned along the lower left side of the circle, while two green ones need to be lined up on the upper right side. When you slide the rings into position here, you'll be able to play a mini-game.

The goal of this particular mini-game is to destroy droids. You'll be looking at a circular ledge ahead of you and the droids will roll around from the left and right. You need to hit them with explosive blasts to disable their shields, then pelt them with bullets (or hit them with another grenade) to finish the job. You have 45 seconds.

When you're ready, continue past that mini-game as the passageway that you're following continues its arc around the central area protected by shields. Past some more droids, you'll find a path leading inward to another console to hack. Before you worry about that, walk around the ring counter-clockwise to grab an artifact that is plainly visible. Now return to the console and tend to it. This particular puzzle requires that you line up the green and blue colors without lining up the orange ones. To do so, follow the steps outlined below:

Go "in" two rings and rotate it twice clockwise.

Go "out" one ring and rotate it once clockwise.

Go "out" one ring and rotate it once clockwise.

Go "in" one ring and rotate it once clockwise.

Go "in" one ring and rotate it twice clockwise.

If you mess up, you can easily back out and start fresh. Once you solve that puzzle, you will have cleared the stage. Congratulations!
